Default kenne bell vs saleen blower

I was wondering how the kb stage one kit 2.6 blower compares to the saleen blower, both kits being intercooled of course, both are priced about the same, which blower is larger?? from what I have read the saleen setup tops out at about 550 horse or so, does the KB kit offer the option of more power than the saleen setup later down the road?? I want to compare the regular KB kit to the saleen as I think these are priced about the same and comparable. I know the mammoth is available however its a larger blower and not comparable to the saleen kit IMO. so lets leave that out of the discussion.

both base kits are top notch and i would
have a very hard time choosing one over
the other.

let us know, which way you do decide to go.

comparing kit for kit and the numbers both produce they are almost the same. I think the main choosing point would have to be astetics for me. Basically which one do you like the look of better. Personally I would be happy w/ either.

I'd find a tuner and ask them which ones they have worked with and like.. hopefully a good reputable one in your area.. im gonna be stuck getting mail order or driving a long ways for a tune.. I'll likely be going with brenspeed.. and either a saleen, techo, or vortech.. since they tune for any of those..

+1

Furthermore, one company has had financial trouble, been bought out, made very controversial customer support decisions, and is rumored to have lost most of its engineering talent. And the other company is named Kenne Bell.
